What color is a white dwarf star?

Answer 1

It is a whitish color.

Seems like a stupid question, but in fact it's not.

Not all these stars are white. They can be red or blue for example.

Astronomers don't always give things "sensible" names.

Answer 2

A white dwarf star is typically white in color, hence the name. White dwarfs are small, dense remnants of low to medium mass stars that have exhausted their nuclear fuel. The surface temperature of a white dwarf can range from 8,000 to 100,000 degrees Kelvin, emitting primarily white light.
